Study: Consumption of sugary drinks linked to cancer risk
Published:
Comments
I have seen customers buying large quantities of sugary drinks. Many of them are on the over weight side also.
People would flip out if they knew how much sugar was in a 12 oz. soda; there's 39 grams or the equiv. of 9.34 teaspoons. They use high fructose corn syrup, but it's pretty much all the same to your body. I think there's even more in some of those energy drinks and I know Mountain Dew has more grams of sugar in it. I swore off sugar sodas over ten yrs. ago and drink a diet soda now 'n then, but to hear the slams on it, it's causing more harm than the sugar is. I doubt that.
I found a book "Sugar Blues" about 30 yrs. ago and it changed my life...at least for a while. I quit drinking sodas, cut out sweets and tried to eliminate ANYTHING that had added sugar to it. It was a horrible withdrawal though, much worse than quitting smoking (and cigarettes have sugar in them, too!) I did feel better and one day I decided to have an orange and that nearly knocked me out.
I eventually gave up my nearly sugar-free diet b/c it was nearly impossible to keep to and also found out that no matter what you eat, it turns into sugar in your body and we NEED that conversion. I still try to watch my sugar intake, though.
